He blinks away the memory, focusing on the familiar name. Jet. Albert mentioned he had a friend he was looking for named Jet. Fits the description too.
When Jet tries to sit up, Steve places his other hand on the man's shoulder, trying to hold him steady but not exerting force.
"It's okay, just settle down. There wasn't a bombing, Jet," he uses the name to try to reground the guy. He makes sure to keep his voice level and calm, trying to pass on the feeling from himself to the other man. "You fell, so you need to take it easy for a minute, okay?"
